It's a silly silly thing, really, but you can't deny 6 dreads rampaging over the field isn't cool. It's mech time!

the optimal dread option Imho is to have 6 ironclads, and scouts.
such as--
"
Master of the Forge, who lets you take Dreads as elites and heavy support.
6 ironclad dreadnoughts
3x 5 scouts with shotguns, vet sarge with PW
3x 10 scouts with snipers
3x LS Storms - the Land Speeder Storm is a land speeder that can carry 5 scouts, open topped.

The whole list comes out a little over 1500 points, if you don't upgrade the characters much. Probably in a 1750 list you could take that whole list, upgraded.
"
adapted slighty from bolter and chainsword....

I think that 6 AV 13s is much more frightening- even if they have less firepower- they have fear factor like no other.

I agree with Iboshi. If you're going to run 6 dreads run 6 iron clads.

You're spending way too many points on extra armor & venerable.

Hehe, I know and I agree. Actually Iboshi, that list goes over 1750 (1780 to be precise). I'm taking a PF squad and LS Storm to fit flamers and cloaks. How does it look? (haha, the list looks so uniform it's weird ^^)
